Paging co-ordination means that the network sends CS paging messages on the PS channel, i.e., on the GPRS/EDGE paging channel or on the GPRS/EDGE traffic channel, so the MS needs only to monitor that channel.

GPRS/EDGE Power Control Purpose of GPRS/EDGE power control

Save the power Reduce the interference of the network

GPRS/EDGE power control is complex than GSM for discontinuous transmission

Normally now just uplink power control is implemented


GPRS/EDGE Power Control According GPRS/EDGE principle, GPRS/EDGE MS output power as below

Pch = Min (o - ch *( C+48) , Pmax) Pch: The PDCH output power in every independent uplink link, the unit is

dBm;

o: 39dBm for GSM 900, 36dBm for DCS1800 ch: Gamma, specified power control parameter for MS and the channel : Alpha, set by the network side. For open-loop power control, it is 1.0 C: the receiving signal level of MS Pmax: the maximum allowed transmit power for MS. If PBCCH exists, it is

GPRS/EDGE_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH; otherwise, it is MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH.


GPRS/EDGE Power Control


GPRS/EDGE Cell Reselection During ready and standby mode, MS will occur cell reselection MS-controlled Cell reselection(also called autonomous cell reselection)

will be triggered upon the following 5 kinds of conditions

Current serving cell is prohibited Down link fails(DSC) C1servingcell


GPRS/EDGE Cell Reselection If PBCCH no exists, the cell reselection is basically the same as GSM

cell reselection

When the two cells locates in the different routing areas or the MS is in READY mode, the C2N must be greater than C2S+CRH (>5s)

When the two cells locates in the same routing area and the MS is in STANDBY mode, the C2N must be greater than C2S (>5s)

Network Control Mode


In the NC2 mode and Ready state, the MS periodically sends packet measurement reports to the BSC. The BSC determines whether to perform cell reselection.

The NC2 feature supports Intra-BSC cell reselection Inter-BSC cell reselection GERAN-to-UTRAN cell reselection GERAN-to-EUTRAN cell reselection

NC2 Feature


Trigger Condition to NC2 Procedure In NC2 mode, any of the following events triggers a network-

controlled cell reselection. The MS signal strength keeps falling, and a neighboring cell with stronger signal

strength exists.

The MS signal quality keeps deteriorating, and a neighboring cell with better signal quality exists.

The serving cell of the MS is overloaded, and a neighboring cell with lighter load and stronger signal strength exists.

The SGSN indicates that the RAT(such as, GERAN, UTRAN, or EUTRAN) suitable for the MS is different from the current RAT.

In Standby state, the MS initiates autonomous cell reselection regardless of the NC mode.

Page39


Data Configuration of NC21. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLGPRS. In this step, set

the parameters as follows

Page40


Data Configuration of NC22. Run the BSC6900 MML command SET GCELLPSBASE.

Page41


In NC0/NC1 mode and packet transfer mode, the MS requests the SItargetcell from the BSC when performing cell reselection.

NACC is classified into Intra-BSC NACC Inter-BSC NACC UTRAN->GERAN NACC EUTRAN->GERAN NACC

Trigger Condition to NACC Procedure The MS initiates the NACC procedure only when an autonomous cell

In NC0/NC1 mode and packet transfer mode, any of the following events triggers an NACC procedure

When in Standby status, MS performs the cell reselect by itself and does not initiate the NACC procedure

Dynamic PDCH Channel Conversion When dynamic PDCH conversion will be triggered?

PDCH required failure (such as reach the max threshold) No meet the multiple timeslot The TBF numbers higher than Uplink (Downlink) Multiplex

Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion


Dynamic PDCH Channel Conversion Which channel will be convert to dynamic PDCH

TCH/F channels can be converted to dynamic PDCH, the maximum dynamic PDCH number will be restricted by reasons listed below

The max PDCH number restricted by License Maximum Ratio Threshold of PDCHs in a Cell Maximum PDCH numbers of carrier Reservation Threshold of Dynamic Channel Conversion
